I use the term “artist” loosely to encompass many profes- sions within the scene from rapper and DJ to hip hop photographer and album art director. Those who engaged in informal interviews have not been included in this table. Information that was not offcially provided during the interviews has been left blank. A simple internet search may very well provide this information. With regard to one’s “introduction to hip hop,” this does not necessarily correspond to the very frst hip hop song, album, or musician that the individual heard. Rather, it marks the frst memorable and/or infuential encounter with hip hop. Some artists distinguished the moments from when they frst heard American hip hop with Korean hip hop and vice versa. What counts as “debut” differed for each artist. While some saw their frst stage performance as their offcial debut, others considered their frst featured track, single, mixtape, EP or LP release as their debut. The years recorded here should not be taken as a unifed method of verifying one’s debut. Rather, the years should work to illustrate a general fow and trajectory in the start of one’s career. The Korean education system consists of six years of elementary school (frst to sixth grade); three years of middle school (seventh to ninth grade); and three years of high school (tenth to twelfth grade). Early elementary school years are from frst to third grade, while late elementary school years are from fourth to sixth grade. BIBLIOGRAPHY Abelmann, N. (2003).
